noccasin Flowers,

Deep wonder of primeval wood,
Heavy with shade of oak and pine, T..
All death transformed, all life subdued
In this strange atmosphere of thine
Fancies remote, and vague and vast
Cling round thy dim mysterious past;
In thee double life began
Sprang from these shades primeval man
light step brushed these fallen leaves
A mythic lightness--human grace;
Behind the boes Of giant trees
A supple form, a glowing face.
This forest floor he surely trod;
| Twas his-the earliest heir OF God
The land that feeds conquering race
His vast and unma rked burial place.
One solitary flower that blows
Still whispers Of one savage kin,
And still, the pathess forest knows
The rosy Indian Moccasin;
When spring and full-blown summer meet
1t feels the print of daring feet;
Yet conscious of dying fame,
Bushes to hear the red mans name.

The Streets of Wilmington.

Tie City Council may inteliect vigorous
opposition to the statutory enactment dele
eating tho control of the streets to a CON.
mission yet the City Council both Of the pre-
sent and of the past have been confsssedly
incompetent to solve the problem of decent
or even Of passable streets.
Mayor Hewitt of New York has proposed
plan for repaving that entire city, within
the next five years, with concrete or asphalt
pavements. With the single exception OF
Washington, New York has the best paved
streets in the country, yet the progressive
spirit Of her citizens realize the necessity of
encouraging in its fullest scope the comforts
aud cuuvsuiences of vehicular traffic.
Few things have done more for Washing
ton than its streets. They have been au en-.
oouragement to business; they have made
cabs and carriages possible; people who Wis
it the city tind great pleasure in driving
about it everywhere, and the enhanced value
of real estate has more than paid for the
cost.
Washington points with conscious pride tc
miles and miles of avenues with concret,
pavement and scarcely visitor to the Cap
toll who is not tempted to test the inviting
condition of its boulevards.
Chicago has long since ignored the eobbl
stone pavement and is extending the maca
damizing system for miles in every direction
AS matter of fact Chicago could not hav
attained her present and prospective greai
meas independent Of respectable thorugt
fares.
But when we turn from Washington an

Some Natural History.

"Sometimes. When oornered up they
have been known to be quite oombative, and
again they have been known to go through

are mild and passive"

"When intruded upon by book agent

Occasionally whom they go out in oppo-

"Are editors ever oowhideda"
"Sometimes the small ones are, but the
big ones are very rarely molested."
"Do editors eat?"
They do. 1t was formerly supposed that
they ate only at long intervals, and upon
rare occasions, but It is now well anthem
: ticated fact that they eat great desl-when
they can get it."
"What kind of food do they like most ?"
"They are not very particular. While
y they won't refuse quail on toast, fried crab,
or roast turkey about Christmas time, they
have been known to make / esrty rspsst of

Enterprise.

The Wilmington Clothing House, J. W.
Diefendorf, manager, has developed the fact
that they can compete with houses Of larger
cities in that they obtained the contract to
make twenty-five pair of pants for the Phex-
inville Military Band, thwithstanding the
fact that Philadelphia houses bid for the
same. This is due in great part to the fact
that the ability of the cutter Mr.. Thos. r.
Cullen was known to the members of this
Band. Call and see bis immense stock. New

The Kaiser's Jubilee.

1t is strange to think that we are cotecipa-
ries of a contemporary of Napoleon the Grsat.
Yet, it is, in literal sense, the case. Fred
erick William Louis Won Huhenzsllern, EN-
peror of Germany, whose 00th anniversary
was celebrated the early part of this week
was ten years old on the day of the battle OF
jena. He was first lieutenant at the bat
tie Of Leipsic. He was with old Marshal
"yorwartsn at the age of 18. Kaiser Will
Jams won o majors commission at waterloo.
At 1857, just thirty years ago, he had been
half a century in the army. 1t is startling
TO reflect that at that long pastime when IN
this country Buchanan was president, when
we were excited over the Kansas Nebraska
trouble, the Dred-Scot decision and other
questions this man who is now Emperor OF
Germany had been for fifty years soldier.
About these dates England had got through
with the Crinean war and was being startled
with the horrible tales of the Indian Muein,
aud the possible loss of her richest cologSai
possession, Hindostan. Only Ave years pre-
y,ously the first great Worlds exhibition
had been OF ened in the Crystal Palace al
London. 1t was half generation befsre
the Union Pacific railroad had been built.
The two great military ey. nts of this soldiel-
kings life are Sadowa and Sedan. Through
the first Austria was completely extingui4h,
ed as rival leader of Germany, and by the
latter, the most signal military affair of the
last quarter of this century (moie exactly
1922 the Iivalfy of France as the military
leader of Europe was set aside. In the de-
clsive series of contests covering the cam
paien Of The France-Prusslan war, chain
of martial successes not equalled in the mill
tary record Of any European country of this
century with perhaps the questionable one
OF France under the great Napoleon. Ger'
many became the arbiter of Europe. And
20 she stands now. 1t is to this proud etiin'
ence thas the obscure subaltern of Leipai,
mas arrived. What a contrast to the moment
iu 1901 when his rather Frederick William

Is il TO go to church to-day,
To look devout and seem to pray,
And ere to-morrow's sun goes down
Be dealing slander through the towns
Does every sanctimonious face
Denote the certain reign of grscoa
Does not phiz that soowls at sin
OFT veil hypocrisy withinP
Is 1t for sect and creed to fght,
To call our zeal the rule of right,
When what we wish is, at the best,
To see oyr church excel the rests
Ia it to wear the Christian dress,
Aud love to all mankind profess;
To treat with scorn the humble poor.
And bar against them every door
Oh, no religion means not this;
Its fruit more fair and sweeter is
Its precept this: To others do
As you would have them do to you.
